I work as a linguist and anthropologist. I love exploring the world by eating with people. I love music, running, motorcycles, film. I am coming back to CouchSurfing after a very long hiatus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met lifelong friends on CouchSurfing. I visited my early hosts Carmina and Esteban in Puebla I think every year from 2012-2022 and hope to see them again soon!
